Basic Sweet Potato Buns

I’ve seriously been just going back to basics lately. Between my lack of kitchen {outdoor furniture, inside, long story}, crazy & fun summer schedule and my love for adventure, I just haven’t been home. Nor have I been able to cook, really. Oh, and when I have cooked something, it’s been nearly impossible to take a decent picture.

A part of me wants to apologize for all of that…and then a part of me is just like…um, it’s life, you’re living it, you’re eating good food, don’t over think.

I went with the latter, and so long as you’re ok with some sub-par pictures, delicious recipes, and my continuously random comments, I think we’ll be fine.

Between BBQs, simple meal preps and everything else in life, I’ve been making these sweet potato buns all of the time. They’ve just come in handy for literally every meal! Burger? Check. Breakfast sandwich? Check. Turning random leftovers into a sandwich? Check. Literally…these babies have been lifesavers this summer.

And even more, I’ve made them a bit differently each time! So many combinations:

Coconut oil and cinnamon

Garlic ghee

Avocado oil and Everything Seasoning

Truffle Salt Ghee and pepper

…as soon as I get my kitchen back, I’ll take a better picture. Pinky promise. But until then, make these. One way. Two ways. A million ways.

You’ll love them each and every time.
